Cyto-Set® Infusion 

B. Braun of Canada
Cyto-Set® Infusion 

IV administration set. Only for gravity infusion.

with 5 needle-free valves
Cyto-Set® Infusion

Single-use, sterile infusion system for the preparation and administration of different cytotoxic drugs via one single closed line-system by gravity or pressure with bottles and bags according to the SPC (Summary of product characteristics) of the drugs/ solutions. Cyto-Set® is used for the application of cytotoxic agents in a closed system.

 The Cyto-Set® system reduces the probability of contamination of person and environment when preparing and applying cytotoxic drugs ensured by its technical components forming a closed system and the resulting workflow.

Cyto-Set® Infusion

IV administration set. Only for gravity infusion.

Connection set for the administration of cytostatic drugs by gravity. Cyto-Set® Infusion is primed with a flushing solution (NaCl 0,9% or Glucose 5%). Cyto-Set® Mix or Cyto-Set® Line must be connected to the valve port of Cyto-Set® Infusion to administer the cytostatic drugs. One drug administration is always followed by a flushing step.

Cyto-Set® can be used for all patients to whom cytotoxic drugs are prescribed in hospitals. Depending on the particular therapeutical concept and sensibility of the tumor to one or more cytotoxic agents the administration of these drugs represents an important role besides surgery and radiation therapy.

Advantages

Chemical Contamination

  • Needle-free valve: Helps to reduce the risk of chemical contamination as the valves are designed for preventing spillage / drug exposure1

Microbiological Contamination

  • Finger stopper and finger grip: Reduction of microbial contamination due to the finger stopper and finger grip.2
  • PrimeStop: Improved safety against microbial contamination due to the hydrophobic, bacteria retentive PrimeStop cap on the patient connector which provides a closed system until connection to the patient.3, 4
  • Needle-free valve: Provides easy access, while helping to reduce the chance of accidental touch contamination.2
  • Air vent filter in the spike: The bacteria tight air vent filter in the spike reduces the contamination risk of the infusion solution.5

Drug Incompatibility

  • Grip plate with integrated back check valves: Integrated back check valves enables an improved safety standard and less risk of unmeant mixture of drugs due to the prevention of reflux.6

Particulate Contamination

  • 15 μm filter in the drip chamber: A particle filter in the drip chamber with pore size of 15 μm prevents the infusion of particles from the infusion container.7
  • 0.2 μm Sterifix® filter: The 0.2 μm Sterifix® filter retains bacteria, fungi, particles and air.

Sharps Injury

  • Needle-free valve: Provides needle-free access, while eliminating the risk of needlestick injuries.8, 9

Medication Error

  • Structure of the regime: Due to the 90° angle of the valves in the grip plate, the whole Cyto-Set® regime is structured well, which reduces the risk of mistaking the drugs within the therapy. 11

Air Embolism

  • AirStop: AirStop function in drip chamber reduces the risk of air embolism.10

DEHP Exposure

  • Not made with PVC / DEHP: All lines are PVC-free, there is no risk of DEHP exposure. 12

Paediatric use:

  • Not made with PVC / DEHP: All lines are PVC-free, there is no risk of DEHP exposure. 12
